launcher with onscreen home and back - K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hey guys, i am looking for launcher with on screen home and back buttons, while disabling hard keys as they are not working
pls share any if u no, with version details.... thanks...

There isn't any specific launcher as such but I will recommend you to use navigation gestures by xda which acts as a replacement for the hardware keys. My phone's hardware keys are not working as well. You can try pie controls as well that can do the job too, I guess.

[Q] Can't remove Lockscreen Home and Back buttons

For some reason, the onscreen Back and Home buttons now appear in the lockscreen in the black space where the navigation buttons normally go. The Recent Apps button does not show in the lockscreen; only Back and Home. Before it was just a blank space when viewing any lockscreen. These buttons have no response and not even a haptic feedback when being pressed. It was bad enough that the black space was there in the lockscreen. How I have two buttons that don't do anything.
I have a TL with stock AT&T Jelly Bean firmware, but it also occurs on the generic .140 firmware.
Has anyone else seen this happen on their Xperia T/TL/TX? Is there some known setting or other thing that makes these buttons appear?
The back and home buttons appear when the notification panel is opened. Else it is just an ugly black strip. The functions are basically to close the notification panel after it is pulled down. As far as I know there is no way to remove it unless you completely disable the navigation bar and enable Pie Controls like me. (Or some alternate soft buttons).
If in your case the buttons are always displayed.. it could be a bug.
please

Do you solved this problem with the home and back buttons? I have the same problem with my two xperia Z, I've tried everything and I can not fix ...
inclusive, makes whatsapp notifications may not work properly.
Of course you can help please let me know ...
What's the last app you installed guys? I read before with a similar case and it was due to Sony smart key app(or a name something like that).

Yes, that is the solution. Smart Key app keeps those virtual buttons on in the lockscreen.

is there no way to keep the app and let the navigation bar remain invisible on lockscreen ..
or any alt app ?
Not that I'm aware of. Hopefully someone will discover a solution at some point.
Indeed I was the one who mentioned this problem, I also tried to address this problem to sony to update there app. But no response. Pleas all of you go to the play store and address this problem. Maybe sony will hear us this time.

[Q] ICS status bar menu for Froyo / GT-PT1010?

Hi!
I've been searching all over for this and couldn't find anything... I have a Samsung GT-PT1010 (forgotten device) which can't be upgraded to ICS and I'm not inclined to upgrade it to Gingerbread. However using imitation ICS settings app and the Go HD Launcher makes it pretty usable.
Only thing missing is the bottom-left corner Back, Home, Apps Running buttons! Does anyone know of such an app or maybe some mode of customization to imitate these buttons? The device in built buttons are simply inconvenient.
thanks for any pointers!!!

Hi there,
I have kinda the same problem with my P1010 but for a different reason. My capacitive navigation buttons have started to die, so I decided to use something called Button Saviour. You can customize it to look like the navigational soft keys on many different devices including the stock android and HTC style buttons. Hope this helps!
I will check this out, thank you!

[Q] Launcher with On-Screen Back, Home buttons for LG Optimus Black P970?

My phone's feather-touch buttons are not working but touch screen is working flawlessly but I am unable to close an App because of this issue. Hence I am looking for a Launcher that has ON-SCREEN virtual BACK and HOME buttons (at-least). Please suggest any launchers.

Soft Keys

I use the N6 as a righty so having to reach for the back button in one handed use is tough. Has anyone seen an easy way to swap the back and recents soft keys?
You'd have to root to swap. Try Pie controls from the app stote. Make sure to enable the back button in the settings.

I always install this one on every Android device. Started with the note 2 [emoji2]
Only have home, back, and recent on the pie
LMT Launcher is on all my phones. It's not really a Launcher either, just the name.
Not yet available, will have to wait for custom ROMs with this feature or manually do the changes via code.

Back, Home and Recents buttons?

Hello,
after the sources for the Z2 Pro have been released and good Custom ROMs are possible, I would love to buy this beautiful device. I've read alot about this U-Touch thing, where you navigate only by using the Home Button... and I don't like it. So my question is: Does this phone also have the normal Back, Home and Recents hardware buttons?
Thanks!
Hi,
Yes, you can add on screen buttons in "Developer Options" menu. At least you can do it with z2 (non pro). I guess you will have this option too.
So there are no "real" hardware buttons to the left and the right of the home button?
On screen buttons are in developer options in both models, make sure you reboot to effect the changes.
Thanks for your answers. I know about the possiblity to show the On Screen Buttons, but that's not what I wanted to know.
I'm curious if the device also has dedicated hardware buttons (not on screen) for Back and Recents, or just the U-Touch button?
It only has 1 physical button on the front..
I'd love to see an app or even integration in a custom rom to be able to configure the behaviour of the front button. What are the chances this will become reality?
It already lets you configure what the button does. You can also preset actions to open specific apps.

But that is in the ZUI ROM right? I'd like to see this in a separate app or built into custom ROM so it can also be used outside ZUI.
Now that the sources are available someone who knows what he is doing should be able to pull this off.
Is there a way to make swipe left on the u-touch button act like a back button? Maybe there would be a way to have it open an scripted action that acts as back button?
Edit: Just figured out that short tap is back, so my problem is solved!
Thanks, this helped me out!
I'm looking for a phone with this same exact button. I'm always super stunned how retarded iphones are compared to my $200 phone.
